Vegetarian Star

“If it grows on a plant, it’s healthy. If it’s made in a plant, don’t eat it.”

—Rick Warren, popular pastor who recently lost weight on a diet that emphasized more vegetables. The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life, is co-written with two physicians and details how Warren and his congregation shed a total of 250,000 pounds!

So nice to hear that the preacher has experienced a rebirth and is saying good things about meatless meals in contrast to his previous blasphemous talk about the vegetarian wrap.

2012 had some great moments for vegetarians and vegans.

And some not so great ones.

Here are Vegetarian Star‘s top Not So Vegetarian stories of celebrities and people in the news that have turned heads, offended and or just looked a little ridiculous.

#5. Mayor Bloomberg Washes Down Wieners Without Soda.
NYC’s mayor attended a competitive overeating contest (also known as hot dog eating contest) where the winners consumed dozens of processed, chemical filled animal wieners. He also ate one himself. Thank goodness he found time to attend this in the midst of his campaign to limit soda consumption to curb obesity. Because soda is the only real evil in making people fat. Not 60 hot dogs.

#4 Conan Whips Out His Wiener.
Not exactly indecent exposure, but the World’s Largest Chicago-Style hot dog does expose one to an increased risk of diabetes and cancer.

Rick Warren, the sometimes controversial and popular pastor and best-selling author thinks eating wraps that sound healthy is the equivalent of breaking a commandment.

At least if you’re a man.

In a recent Tweet, the pastor wrote that “real men don’t eat wraps (except for burritos).”

Real men don’t eat “wraps” (except for burritos)

He later clarified this statement to a follower saying this transgression would be okay if the wrap contained bacon.

Then it is OK.@mrmedina What if the wrap is made of bacon?
